Global research company Ovum says that, in the next four years, mobile operators will have lost $54 billion in SMS revenue, because of the increasing popularity of social messaging (SM) services on smartphones. This is more than double the $23 billion they are expected to have lost by the end of this year.

That’s “billion”!
